Agenda Items

REVIEW OF BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT & RECOMMENDATION FROM TWO RIVERS MAIN STREET BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM JUNE 10, 2026
The board reviewed Main Street’s unanimous June 10 recommendation to change the BID boundaries and heard in-person explanations from Main Street leadership. Members discussed the tradeoffs of expanding the district and how it could affect businesses inside the BID. This was the meeting’s key setup: the board was effectively deciding whether to treat Main Street’s proposal as credible enough to move into the city’s formal approval pipeline.

ACTION AMENDING BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES WITH RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLAN COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL
Passed 7-0
The board voted unanimously to accept Main Street’s recommendation to amend the BID boundaries and forward it to the Plan Commission to schedule a public hearing at its September meeting. This matters because boundary lines determine who gets assessed to fund BID/Main Street work—and changing them can shift costs and influence downtown priorities. The vote doesn’t finalize anything yet, but it moves the proposal into the required multi-step review where the public hearing is the next real chance for residents and affected property owners to weigh in on the record.
Public Input: No public hearing was held by the BID board at this meeting; the board asked the Plan Commission to schedule one at its September meeting as the next step.
